An analysis of domestic and export potential of India’s animal feed industry

Abstract

The progress of the human society as a whole has continued to depend on the products & services provided by the livestock population right from the advent of agriculture, and even today, the most modern of the post-industrial era societies remain critically reliant on the livestock for food & nutritional security. In today’s times where much stress is given on sustainable economic development, we should advance the recognition of the continual importance of livestock in our lives. For developing countries like India particularly, where food insecurity is an endemic concern due to the rising population levels, livestock are especially vital for the nation’s economy.
